Breast Surgery

Breast Cancer is the most common female cancer in Hong Kong, and is the third most common cause of cancer deaths. The number of new cases has tripled in the past twenty years, and it is estimated that one in every 17 women in Hong Kong will develop breast cancer during her lifetime. Reassuringly, most breast-related problems are benign; however, it is imperative that all women have their breast concerns properly assessed by experienced doctors as early detection saves lives.
